I was right! its even being promoted by the same company! This is a real market. Aiming for 15000 tickets sold is realistic! This migbht not be to everyone's taste on here but it is an established market. A good solid foundation. Its basically a pretty good house (house as in one band, not "house versions of Rick Astley's hits) band, then they add the key, remaining members of the 80's acts to it! to give a good night out, without the need to hav massive gaps between the acts!

Indeed. In fact, what appeals to Bulls fans is surely 100% irrelevant in this case. We're putting on a concert, the only question is how many tickets can we sell. It makes no difference who buys them and I shouldn't think the cross-section of Bulls fans who rate/hate the acts would be any different from the population at large.

Some people seemed to think this was another event being created to milk yet more money out of the Bulls' fan base, and would have to be attractive to them, but it isn't, and it doesn't. It's to attract whoever is willing to pay to attend such a concert by such a mix of acts, regardless of whether they support the Bulls, Bolivia or bollock-all.

I know several people who want to go to this. Rick Astley fans, not rugby fans!

Nor music fans.

Well yes, I do tend to agree.

> at the music snobs who look down their noses at pop music, when secretly they enjoy it as much as anyone else. Bit weird also when the lineup consists of pretty much career muzos and not flash-in-the-pans or synthetics. But hey.

Quite apart from The Real Thing being from the 70s they were an excellent band. Is Eddie Amoo still singing?

You're confusing pop music & crap music. Choose your decade.
